In many situations, you need to rent a car for another person: a family member, a co-worker, a business partner or someone arriving in Romania and in need of quick transportation. The good news is Rentado allows you to do this simply and legally, if you follow a few essential rules.
In this article we explain clearly how to rent a car from Rentado for someone else, What you need to know before booking and what responsibilities this type of rental entails.
Can you rent a car for someone else?
Yes, you can rent a car through Rentado for someone else to drive, but there is one important condition:
๐ The person who will drive the car must be declared as the driver in the contract.
The car cannot be rented โin your nameโ and handed over to a person who is not on the documents. For legal and insurance reasons, only drivers listed in the contract are entitled to drive the car.
What does it actually mean to rent for someone else?
The process is simple:
- you make the reservation (online or by phone);
- the person who will drive the car is listed as the main or additional driver;
- at pickup, the declared driver must be present with the necessary documents.
The rental is therefore 100% legal and covered by insurance.

Why would you need to rent a car for someone else?
There are many situations where this option is extremely useful:
๐ Long roads
For long distances, more than one driver is ideal. Alternate driving reduces fatigue and increases safety.
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง Family vacations
When traveling with the family, a second driver offers flexibility, more frequent breaks and less stress.
๐ผ Business trips
In the case of delegations or business visits, you can rent a car for a colleague or partner who arrives in Romania first.
โ๏ธ Arrivals from abroad
If someone is landing at Otopeni and you can't make it, you can book in advance and they pick up the car directly from the airport.

What you need to know before renting for someone else
To avoid misunderstandings, keep the following important points in mind:
โ Responsibility remains clearly established
The rental contract sets out exactly who is responsible for the car. It is essential that all persons driving the car are named in the documents.
โ Additional costs
Depending on the situation, there may be costs for:
- additional driver;
- driver under a certain age;
- extra services (baby seat, special delivery etc.).
โ Fuel and taxes
It's good to have a clear understanding between you and the person driving the related car:
- food;
- tolls;
- any fines or additional costs.
โ The insurance is valid only for declared drivers
If an undeclared person is driving the car, the insurance is no longer valid. This is why transparency is essential.
